A Review On The Role Of LbL Technique In Post Modification Of Polymeric Sponges

Abstract

Multipurpose and multilayered layer-by-layer (LbL) coatings have been a topic of interest to researchers for many years. The main reasons for this situation are the versatility of the approach and the wide range of applications that continue to increase steadily. Since the controlled surface modification is also the key to developing advanced materials, the preparation of nano-structured materials based on LbL and the investigation of their application areas are becoming more and more popular. Among the application areas covered in these studies -preventing/improving environmental pollution, protecting ecological balance and environmental resources, observing economic sustainability, etc. also highlighting- waste treatment, membrane applications, superhydrophobic coatings, ultraviolet protective coatings, electroactive coatings, cell applications, etc. exists. Superhydrophobicity and materials with superhydrophobic property are of great interest in both academia and industry due to their self-cleaning properties. With the progress of nanotechnology, it is possible to control surface architecture and surface chemistry to achieve superhydrophobicity. Thanks to the uniqueness of superhydrophobic surfaces, advancements in this area are expected to continue for decades. This review study focuses on sponge sorbents recommended for the removal of oily pollutants/organic wastes in water, which is one of the environmental problems that have become more difficult to control in recent years. In this context, the advantages/disadvantages of polymeric sponges with essentially hydrophobic/superhydrophobic character, as well as the various properties that have been imparted to sponge sorbents with the LbL technique, have been reviewed.

Polimerik Süngerlerin Post Modifikasyonunda LbL Tekniğinin Yeri Hakkında Bir Derleme

Öz

Çok yönlü ve çok katmanlı tabaka tabaka (LbL) kaplamalar uzun yıllardan beri araştırmacıların ilgisini çeken bir konudur. Bu durumu ortaya çıkaran temel sebepler, yaklaşımın çok yönlülüğü ve istikrarlı bir şekilde artmaya devam eden geniş bir uygulama yelpazesine sahip olmasıdır. Kontrollü yüzey modifikasyonu ileri malzemeler geliştirmenin de anahtarı olduğundan, nano ölçekte yapılandırılmış malzemelerden LbL esaslı olanların hazırlanması ve uygulama alanlarının araştırılması giderek daha popüler hale gelmektedir. Bu çalışmalarda ele alınan uygulama alanları arasında -çevre kirliliğinin önlenmesi/iyileştirilmesi, ekolojik denge ve çevresel kaynakların korunması, ekonomik sürdürülebilirliğin gözetilmesi vb. de öne çıkarılarak- atık arıtımı, membran uygulamaları, süperhidrofobik kaplamalar, ultraviyole koruyucu kaplamalar, elektroaktif kaplamalar, hücre uygulamaları vb. bulunmaktadır. Süperhidrofobiklik ve süperhidrofobik özelliğe sahip malzemeler, kendi kendini temizleme özellikleri nedeniyle hem akademide hem de endüstride büyük ilgi görmektedir. Nanoteknolojinin ortaya çıkmasıyla birlikte, süperhidrofobikliğe ulaşmak için yüzey mimarisinin ve yüzey kimyasının kontrol edilmesini sağlamak mümkündür. Süperhidrofobik yüzeylerin benzersizliği sayesinde bu konudaki ilerlemelerin gelecekte onlarca yıl sürmesi beklenmektedir. Bu derleme çalışması son yıllarda kontrolü daha da zor hale gelen çevresel problemlerden birisi olan sulardaki yağsı kirliliklerin/organik atıkların giderimine yönelik olarak önerilen süngerik sorbentlere odaklanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, süngerik sorbentlere LbL tekniği ile kazandırılmış çeşitli özellikler yanında temelde hidrofobik/süperhidrofobik karakter kazandırılmış polimerik süngerlere ilişkin avantaj/dezavantajlar irdelenerek yapılan çalışmalar gözden geçirilmiştir.
